About this map

Deep River and the Grays River converge toward the northern reaches of Grays Bay on this 2014 survey of the Lower Columbia region. The landscape is defined by its complex network of sloughs and tidal channels, including Rangila Slough and Seal Slough, which frame the low-lying terrain near Svensens Landing and Oneida. Settled points such as Rosburg and Eden occupy the higher ground between the river valleys and the rising hills of the Astoria Range.

Tracing the shoreline reveals the maritime infrastructure of the Columbia River, marked by navigational aids like Rocky Point Light and Grays Bay Light. The transition from the rugged timberlands near Salme Hill to the riverfront landings at Altoona and Carlson Landing illustrates the historic reliance on both logging and waterborne transport. Many features, such as Old Camp Brix and the numerous family-named canyons like Wilcox Canyon, provide concrete evidence of the area's ancestral homesteading and industrial footprint.
